Fitted a set recently, no issues...performance is as one would expect from an OE pad 

no difference from other OE pads (textar and Jurid)  :thumbs:

I fitted a rear set about 2 weeks ago with new disks aswell.

No issues at all, no squeaks or anything like that.
I definitely recommend them thus far.

TRW supplies BMW with a host of suspension products for the e90 range that are packaged into BMW branded products and sold. I dont know if that continued with the F and G series...

You should not have a problem with the quality.

i had them on my 335i.....on par with textar i would say...

They did squeak at very low speed when hot.... 

But no problem performance wise.

What is pad life like on these? I battle to find Textar pads so I'm using Febi when I can find them. Also tried Ferrodo Eco Platimun and they last 1 race day then they are done. So looking at alternative options.

For the life of me, I can't find textar anywhere

Who sells TRW pads for an F30? I'm struggling to get textar as well.

Call Imcomex or ZF for TRW. Textar can be had from Torre Parts & Components, but sizes and stock can be an issue. Midas also stocks Brembo, although I have not tried this yet.

Correct. COVID has messed things up properly. They said they will re-evaluate in the new year.
